BPC MEXICO MISSION TRIP
July 25 - August 1
Guarderia Dios Proveera (GDP) - Casa Hogar was initiated as a response to the desperate need for quality childcare in the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.
Parents often have no other alternative but to leave their children at home alone, unattended, while they go to work to provide for their families.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress...” James 1:27
